Past a Beatin’ Heart

[Verse 1]
It's in the vows
'Til death do us part
But my love for you
Is past a beatin' heart
'Cause if I die
And that ends "I do"
It ain't just my shell
My soul died too

[Chorus]
When I head towards the light
And see them gates
One of the lucky ones
And he knows my name
And says "Child, well done"
Son, come on through
I won't go in if I can't have you

[Verse 2]
If our union fades
And dies with me
Can my soul stay
In an in between?
They say heaven's all
It's like nothing you've seen
But I'd give that up
To watch my angel sleep

[Chorus]
When I head towards the light
And see them gates
One of the lucky ones
And he knows my name
And says "Child, well done"
Son, come on through
I won't go in if I can't have you

[Bridge]
Absent from the body, present with the Lord
I'd rather have a hand to hold from this day forth

[Chorus]
When I head towards the light
And see them gates
One of the lucky ones
And he knows my name
And says "Child, well done"
Son, come on through
Don't wanna go in if I can't have you
